SSJ’s SHAHI STICKS with MANGO HONEY SAUCE

So finally I am back with my new recipes for APRIL’s RECIPE
WEEK and this is the first dish.

In India “Shahi Tukda” is a very popular dish where we deep
fried bread slices in Ghee (Clarified Butter) then make them sweet with sugar
syrup and give them different toppings like Rabri or so much options but the
main thing is that dessert is so heavy because of deep frying with clarified
butter.

From starting this idea was stuck in my mind but never got
the real shape. Last week when my sister was came to our home some vacations
that time I was busy but when I got some free time, again the idea came in my
mind and the recipe was ready in few minutes.

This is so easy that your kids can also make this because
minimum cooking included and taste will be awesome. Also including the fruit is
a healthy option in this recipe. The main part of “Deep Frying” was changed to
stir fry and that’s also in simple butter or I will recommend cooking oil
because when will chill it, butter will not give the best taste. In my recipe
we will not make simple sugar syrup but vanilla sugar syrup with mild flavor of
cardamom also.

Vanilla Essence – 4-5 drops (if you have fresh vanilla pods
then that will be best)

Water – 1 ½ cup

For Mango Honey Sauce :

Fresh Mango Pulp – ½ cup

Fresh Cream – ½ cup

Honey – 2tsp.

Cinnamon Powder – 1tsp.

Condensed Milk – 1tbsp. (optional)

METHOD

For Shahi Sticks :

Microwave bread sticks in a bowl for 1 minute in 15seconds
interval to make them hard and crispy.

Now heat oil in pan and stir fry crispy bread sticks by
changing all sided till all sided become golden.

Keep aside for cooling.

For Sugar Syrup :

Heat water in a saucepan. Add sugar and crush cardamom and
add them too.

Cook on high heat till sugar dissolves.

Now cool it and also add vanilla essence.

For Mango Honey Sauce :

Mix all the ingredients well. If your cream is not thick
well then only add condensed milk, else you can skip it.

To Serve :

Spread crispy bread sticks in a plate. Now spread vanilla
sugar syrup on all sticks.

Mix for 2seconds and take away sticks immediately before
syrup make them soft.

Serve immediately with mango honey sauce.

Just try it once and there is uncountable options for
changing the fruit. You can use orange or strawberry or kiwi or blueberry with
your choice. Important part is cooling in this recipe. Always cool bread sticks
after frying and also vanilla syrup and dip bread sticks only when you are
ready to serve or bread sticks will be soggy and taste will be change.

So now I am leaving you with your kitchen tools and
imagination.meet you tomorrow with another new recipe…
